No power through ceiling rose

The photos of the connections as requested.

• Pic 1 is the spotlight wired to the plug - it is working, no disputing that
• Pic 2 showing the 3 terminals of the spotlight connected to the plug - the spotlight is metal so the earth is required
• Pic 3 is with the Earth released - just so we know that there is no issues with the earth as the problem lampholder is plastic, it can't be seen in shot, but the spotlight is still illuminated
• Pic 4 is the problem lampholder wiring at the lampholder
• Pic 5 the lampholder to power cable circuitry - as mentioned above, no earth
• Pic 6 - no light - it isn't showing but the plug is powered on - I had intended to include my circuit tester in the shot but my camera was being awkward so I just didn't have enough hands - hence my circuit tester in shot in pic 4
• Pic 7, a close-up of the lampholder wiring, just so you can see that we're connected to the correct terminals. It can't be seen from this shot but the light is off (those reflected in the work surface are the kitchen lights), but the power is on.

Sounds like the terminals in the lamp are not touching the bulb.

Its funny you should say that as they are, I had made absolutely sure of it.

The problem is, as I had just discovered, it was my pc build with an Asrock motherboard from 2005 that prompted me to look another direction

The connections really need tidied up. im not sure if some of those flexes are held in the screws properly, and so much copper showing, they could touch together

Are the terminals lining up with the terminals on the bulb.

What about a pic of the wiring at the the ceiling where the luminaire was originally. Or have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick?

Slightly wrong end of the stick at present as after spending the last couple of days troubleshooting, I've determined the problem to be with the lampholder and not the wires at the ceiling.

If the light works when plugged into the wall, nut not the ceiling, then we know its something else, but currently, as its not working from the wall outlet either, when the original 3-lamp spotlight is, tells me the problem is with the lampholder.

I don't care for the connections right now, you are seeing a test cable connected to a wall-plug rather than off the ceiling, as right now, I'm troubleshooting the lamp-holder.
Once I go back to the ceiling, they'll be covered in heat-shrink

I believe so, I pulled the terminals up and in a little to ensure the connection is made

So just to clarify the new lampholder does not function at the rose nor the wall outlet but you know the spotlight is good because you have proved this at the old spotlight track.
